Activity 2 finding ACAP 's online resources
Monday, 24 September 2012, 03:56 PM
Well, I 've just had a pleasant afternoon finding my way around the maze that 's called Myacap. Wow. I 've found I 've ended up with a myriad of browser pages open, and got lost thinking I was finding things. I did find it, I 'm sure I found it... Now where was it?? Anyway, I 'll get there, I’m sure, and so will you. The Grail? Not yet, but I 'm sure it 's in there somewhere.
Incidentally, folks, if you 're having trouble finding the link to the Counselling and Therapy in Video resource, and you only get a 404 error, there 's a broken link on the site. Your browser will be trying to point to http://elibrary.acap.edu.au/http%3A%2F%2Fctiv.alexanderstreet.com and the link is broken. Instead, just try removing everything after edu.au -so you have http://elibrary.acap.edu.au and you 'll get to the elibrary homepage where the link to the videos works. Good Luck!

Baseball season started right in the middle of the planning and I nearly didn 't play, but I did and found the focus on the game a real relief - Nothing else mattered for those three hours except me and the ball. My sleep patterns returned and though tired from the games, I was thoroughly relaxed.
But I like this one.
You may have heard of Gangnam style - dancing like you 're riding a horse - well sort of... It 's come out of South Korea and it 's big around the world right now. Anyway here 's a
